Java GUI doesn't properly parse forensic path when bulk_extractor is run on a directory of files.

Hello,

When I run bulk extractor from the command line on a directory of files, i try and view the output of the report on the UI. This is fine, until i try and click on one of the attributes and it displays this error (screenshot attached). It doesnt do this with disk image files, but only when i do a directory of files.

I saw a forum post on google about this bug and the solution was to install 1.5.5, but I am already on this version. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bulk_extractor-users/r1F-I2UpBRg

I am running this on a windows machine. Hope this can be fixed since I am trying to use for my dissertation.

Many thanks,

Alice

Thanks for posting this. It looks like in this case the bulk_extractor Java user interface doesn't display files when bulk_extractor is run on a directory of files. It appears that the UI isn't properly parsing the forensic path. This is a bug in the GUI.
